I'll be interested to hear what you think of the Llangollen -- I always regard long stretches of it as a bit over-rated, although the Ponty aqueduct and the run up to Llangollen itself are a bit special. If you have the time, take a trip down the Montgomery Canal, which we thought was fantastic.

By the way, did you see my answer to your question about the digital edition of Canal Boat?

Hi Adam, Yes thanks I did see your answer and now have an online subscription - Canal Boat online gives a much better view on computer than Waterways World does! We fully intend to 'do' the Montgomery on this cruise - we lived in Wales for nearly 18 years and have walked it while waiting for RnR to be built and loved it .... so watch this space!
